Any LO have Pneumonia?

I am being a worry wort I am sure. We all had colds for about 2 weeks. Our LO and I r getting better, but hubbie was just diagnosed with pneumonia. Now, every little thing is making me wonder about LO. I even thought I heard a wheeze. She has been acting fine, but I am FTM always worried about something. So, anyone have any experience with LO having pneumonia? What were symptoms? Did he or she act normal?

This is a tough one for me. My boyfriend's son (who I cared for over 9 years) was diagnosed with pneumonia. I noticed a dry cough, no phlegm. He couldn't eat or drink as both made him gag. 2-3 hours later he was very lethargic and wanted to sleep only on his stomach. I took of his shirt and observed his breathing for 1 minutes and counted how many times his chest/back raised up. I did it 4 times. I called the pediatrician with the results. I was asked to bring him in immediately. Before I knew it I was calling the mom of my boyfriend's son and him to come to the children's hospital because we were being transfer from the pediatrician's office in an ambulance. On the road the paramedics gave him 1 treatment of antibiotics. When we arrived at the hospital both parents were there. He stayed for 1 month at the hospital with antibiotics. After 1 month he came home but was very fragile.

It doesn't hurt for you to take your baby to the pedi and order chest x-ray to be safe. Pneumonia is really dangerous. I had it 2 years ago and it took 2 different hospitals and 3 ER visits to find out the actual diagnosis. I wasn't able to eat for 4 days or sleep it all. Soon as I started antibiotics I felt like a millionaire :). And then I got pregnant because the pill interfere with the meds. Lol. Follow your gut. :)

Poor hubby! Pneumonia sucks--sorry to hear he is so sick! I want to mention that it is also prime RSV season. LO and I are revisiting the pedi tomorrow (DH took her yesterday) because she is rather ill and there are 2 confirmed cases of RSV in the other adjoining infant room at her day care. The director called me this a.m. to encourage us to keep a close eye on it (we kept her home Monday but she seemed better today; I have a sub lined up for my classes tomorrow, because she sounds worse again and was uncomfortable at day care today); the director was in the infant room checking things out because of all the sick kids right now, and she heard our LO cough and it sounded like it might be that, given that she is indeed sick. Might want to get your LO checked out just to be safe; there isn't much that can be done if it would turn out to be RSV, but it needs to be watched carefully because it can turn into pneumonia, among other things.

My lo had pneumonia 2 months ago. It was very scary. Started with a mild cold then a dry cough. He had a dry cough when I left him with hubby to go to work. When I got home for lunch he was wheezing, breathing fast, and retracting. I rushed him to the ped. He ended up transferred to the er. Amazingly after breathing treatments and antibiotics they sent him home that night. He had a rough 2 days then slowly got better. Very scary situation that I never want to go through again.

I just saw our pedi this morning and she made the comment that with lo's as young as ours pneumonia is pretty easy to spot. There would definitely be a fever and lo would be very unhappy. I'm sure your lo is okay - just another cold - but I do understand. I'm a ftm also and feel like lo is constantly sick with something.
